Renderer not passing through the if condition for a date filed

Innocentm

Am trying to display blank for null or '1971-01-01' fields in my DB but the if block does not get executed

{ data: "eta", 
render: function ( data, type, row ) {
                  if (data =='1971-01-01') {
                    return '';
                    }
                  else {
                    return data;
                    }
                }
            },

Hard to say wihtout seeing your data. Maybe you can add a console.log command to see what data actually is:

render: function ( data, type, row ) {
                  console.log('"' + data + '"');
                  if (data =='1971-01-01') {

I don't see 1971-01-01 in the data you posted above. Maybe you want 1970-01-01 instead?

Thanks Kevin, I have also just spotted that now. It's working!!
